Description

Adrian Marsden-Jones was born in Buxton in 1933 to Welsh parents with three older brothers. The family moved to Coventry in 1935. After only three years, his father was seconded as Director of Factories by the Ministry of Supply to mobilise the workforce to staff the ordnance factories throughout the country in preparation for war.

'Come into the factories' was the motto of the day. Churchill later awarded him the CBE for this major contribution to the war effort. The severity of the bombing culminating in the blitz of Coventry resulted in the evacuation of all four boys to Gower for the duration of the war.

This is the context in which Adrian recalls the unique events which followed.
